ABSTRACT:
A switching jack for use with a circuit board. The switching jack includes a housing having a single opening for receiving a standard plug. Within the housing is a contact carrier which holds a plurality of resilient conductive pins. The resilient conductive pins extend angularly through an open area in the housing and extend out from the rear surface of the jack. When the jack is mounted to a circuit board the resilient conductive pins contact grooved contacts formed in the circuit board. The electrical connections between the resilient conductive pins and the grooved contacts is interrupted when a plug is placed in the jack.
